About Story House

Every room informs, expresses, and inspires.

Story House falls within the creative arts and experiential education industry. We specialize in immersive creative workshops.

Story House transforms everyday venues into imaginative spaces where every room informs, expresses, and inspires the participants. Each experience tells a story — not just about us, but also about each other.

Every event is designed to encourage reflection, strengthen relationships (or create new ones), and remind Story Guests that everyone has a story worth telling. They can decide whether they will make their discoveries in writing, painting, paper crafts, bookbinding, sewing, miniature art, dollmaking, or inventive upcycling.

Eventually everything connects.

Something you made, and something you learned

Jessica Karma Filomeno writing in a handmade journal
Founder · Jessica Karma Filomeno

I say less and let the creation tell my story.

Jessica is the founder of Story House, a creative practice rooted in a simple discovery. The many forms of expression she was drawn to — writing, music, visual art, immersive experiences, miniatures, bookbinding, and even the homes she rented and sold in real estate — were all telling stories. That realization became the foundation of Story House.

Rather than limiting storytelling to words on a page, Jessica explores how stories can be experienced through places, objects, relationships, and shared moments. Her work invites people to discover the narratives hidden within everyday life and to recognize the stories they bring with them.

A finalist for the 2022 Disney Writing Program, Jessica is also a singer-songwriter, artist, workshop designer, and real estate professional. Across every medium she explores, her purpose remains the same: to create spaces where people can express themselves, connect with one another, and discover that our stories often become most meaningful when they are shared.

I came for a craft night and left with three new friends and a handmade journal I still write in. The whole room felt designed for us.
